I the latter becomes broken or hardened.

lith the above Vand other objects in view, the invention further1 includes the-follpw'- ing novel features and details of construction, to be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and pointed `out in the appended claims.

In the drawings Y Figure` 1 is a fragmentary elevation of my invention after completedand in use.

Figure 2 is a fragmentarylongitudinal sectionalview taken through the forward end of the cue stick and illustrating the man-I ner in which my invention is applied thereto;

" Figures '3, 4 and 5 illustrate various sec-k tions and elevations of the parts so forming my invention. y

yReferring to the drawings in detail,

wherein 4like characters of referenceV denote corresponding parts, vthe reference character 10 indicates 'the end portion of .a cue stick, not shown7 which beingsof the rusual and well knownconstruction and forming noV part of the present applicant for-'Letters Patent but being merely shown for purposes of illustration in bringing forth the novel advantages ofthe above entitled invention. n

The invention resides in the provision of a reduced extension or dowel-11` having a threaded bowl 12 extending inwardly from its end an appreciable distance. Receiving the dowel 11 within a relatively large socketed portion 13- and having a relatively large bore 14 registeringv with Vthe threaded bore 12 thereof is a barrel 15 beingso configurated as to resemble `an integrally formed end of they cue'fstick end 10. Threadedwithin the threaded-bore -12 of the dowelll is a threaded shankl extending from the. inner end of a shaftjl? being received' within vthe relatively bore 14 of the rbarrel 15 while a th vadedf socket 1 8 pwvded in the opposite @ad eti-the shaft 17 receives a threaded shank 19 prol.

vided upon the linner end of a cup-shaped `plate 20 having forwardly extendingteeth v Y 21 provided upon the periphery thereof. A tip 22vof the usual and conventional formis then placed upon the cup-shaped member 20 and receivingthe tee-th 21 therevin after which .the said tip 22 is struck in orderl that the teeth maybe bent out-y wardly in the manner as clearly illustrat`v ed in Figure 2 ofthe' drawing whereby the tip 22 will be rigidly secured,V and against accidental displacement. y

It will thusbe noted from the foregoing Ydescription and accompanying drawing that this invention provides an unusual and advantageous formof securing means for eue 'tips in so f ar as all parts are interchangeable whereby tips may ybe replaced when necessary and owing to the manner in which the dowel 11 and barrel 15 are associated the dowel 11 and cue stick end 10- are prevented from splitting, the said barrel having a configuration conforming to the-cue stick end 10. -c 1^' l held l sof-j The invention .is susceptible of various f changes in its form, proportions and minor Y detalls of'construction, and the lright 1s here-V.

in reserved to fmake such changes as properly fall within the scope vof the appendedclaims. i l

Having thus described my invention; whatV is claimed is 1. A cue stick offthe character described having a lreducedV dowel provided upon its forward end and including a centrally disposed longitudinally extending threaded bore providedr within the forward end, a barrelhaving an enlarged socket` for receiv.

ing the dowel therein and enlarged .bore

vcommunicating' therewith for registering withthe threaded bore of thedowel, a shaft having a threaded shank provided upon its inner end and received within the threaded bore of the dowel and providing a threaded socket within'itsforward end, and means fitted within the socket of the shaft for se- Y l curing a cue tip upon the forward end of the barrel. y 2; A Vcue ofthe vcharacter described having a reduced dowelliprovided uponits forwardl e end and.v having a centrally disposedy `lon-Y.

gitudinal extendingth're'aded bore provided within its forward end, a barrel' having an enlarged socket and bore associated there# ,with receiving the @wel witlii-'thejsecket and having its bore registering with the threaded bore of the doWeI, an shaft having an inwardly extending dowel shank received Within the threaded bore of the doWei and providing a threaded socket upon its forward end, and a threaded shank fitted with the threaded Socket of the shaft and providing a cup-,shaped member having outwardly and forwardly extending teeth projeetng from the periphery thereof for se- Securing a. eue tip thereto.

In testimony whereof- I aix my signature.
